A crisp serif with clear thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs that finish in sharp, slightly tapered terminals. The capitals are stately and well-proportioned with a traditional Roman structure, while the lowercase shows a moderate x-height and compact, controlled curves. Stroke joins are clean and the rhythm is even, producing a steady line of text; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and feel consistent with the letterforms.
Works well for long-form reading such as book interiors and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also suits magazine headlines, pull quotes, and formal stationery where its contrast and sharp serifs can provide a sense of polish and gravity.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a composed, authoritative presence suitable for formal contexts. Its high-contrast detailing and sharp serif endings add a refined, slightly dramatic edge without feeling ornamental.
Designed to deliver a conventional, trustworthy serif appearance with elevated contrast and tidy finishing details. The intention appears to balance readability with a refined, classic tone appropriate for publishing and formal communication.
In the text sample, the face maintains clarity at larger sizes and shows a traditional reading-text cadence, with distinct counters and a disciplined baseline. The mix of crisp hairlines and firm verticals gives it a polished, print-oriented look.
